Steward Comment

After being crossed near the 900m, was steadied from heels. Held up rounding the home turn. Jockey R Fradd was unable to offer any tangible explanation for the below market expectation performance of the mare, other than it may be better suited when able to take up a leading position in the event. A post-race veterinary examination revealed a poor post-race recovery.

Steward Comment

Jockey L Dittman reported that the gelding travelled comfortably during the early and middle stages, however when placed under pressure, failed to respond to his riding and in his opinion proved disappointing. A post-race veterinary examination failed to reveal any abnormalities.
